Guilt Free Pannacotta

Pannacotta is normally made using double cream. The double
cream does give it a deep richness; however when made this way it is lighter
but still as tasty minus the double creams-double calories.

Serves 4

600ml semi skimmed milk

1 vanilla pod (or dash of vanilla essence with vanilla
beans)

125g caster sugar

4 sheets of leaf gelatine

200ml natural low-fat yogurt

Sauce

200g frozen blueberries

2 tablespoons of caster sugar

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

Method

Pour the milk into a medium sized saucepan, split the
vanilla pod down the middle and scrape the seeds into the milk. Heat the milk
gently and add the sugar, stirring until it dissolves. In the meantime place
the gelatine leaves into some cold water for a few mins to soften them.

Once the milk starts to bubble, remove it from the heat.
Squeeze out the excess water from the gelatine leaves, add them to the milk and
stir until they dissolve and allow the mixture to cool before passing through a
fine sieve into a mixing bowl.

Once the mixture has cooled completely add the yogurt and
stir to infuse. Pour the mixture into the pudding moulds and chill them in the
fridge for a few hours or ideally overnight.

To make the sauce, thaw the blueberries and add them along
with the sugar and lemon juice to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook
for a few mins until the berries are heated through. Transfer to a bowl and
allow to cool slightly.

To unmould the pannacotta’s dip each mould into a bowl of
warm water for a few seconds then carefully turn over onto each serving plate,
give a little shake and they should slide out. Serve with a dressing of
blueberries in their sauce.
